Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[BAGNF05]

Just had some thoughts on Madge and an extension
Its well known that Bellamy is in his last year before retirement
The same year Madge finishes his current contract with us
Mage worked under Bellamy if I am correct
That both have a hard line approach and expect results
Both have a temper
Madge did very well managing Grant this year and knows his game
I heard Cameron Smith do an interview on Cairns radio this morning and he spoke how well Grant did at the Tigers this year
Is that an endorsement to try and get Madge to step into Bellamy's shoes
The timing is perfect for Melbourne and Madge
Harry preformed very well under Madge which would put Madge in a great position for the vacant coaching roll at Melbourne
Its not good for us at all if you think about it
I like what Madge has done for us and things look from the outside like we are planning for the future
I for one hope Madge stays and we lock him up soon
Real soon before the papers start writing stories linking Madge to Melbourne

I reckon you could be onto something, I know Jason Ryles (mate of a mate) is held in high regard at Storm but he is going overseas to coach England’s rugby team.

All things point to Madge leaving us unfortunately.

I think Madge will stay, he's not going anywhere. He has an opportunity to build something here, and though he has massive salary cap restraints here with Packer and Reynolds, he is nearly free of them, only one more year.

I would definitely be disappointed if Madge leaves so soon. Who would we even consider as our next coach?

There’s an unsigned contract extension on the table.

I think if Madge left now to go to the storm his reputation would take a hit. Can only coach the top teams etc.....

My opinion is he is invested here and wants to see the job done with some sustained finals appearances

Yeah that doesn't fill me confidence. In saying I think he will stay, it's probably more that I hope he will stay. It's not the end of the world if he goes, but it's just another setback, and after 10 years, I'm impatient for us to do well and I don't think losing our coach will further our cause.

According to wikipedia, he was coach of Wigan for 2 years, having success there, leaving them to go to Souths for 6 years before being sacked (with 2 years left to go on contract). So hopefully the two years here with us is him only just getting warmed up.

You guys have way too much time on your hands

@THE_POM bit off topic, but would you have an idea as to who we’re versing RD 1 next year?

Final drafts being sent to clubs this afternoon/tomorrow morning.
Believe draw is revealed on Thursday.
Will let you know what I find out once final draft is received.

Hi POM

Are you able to say what happened with young Camroux?

What's this? Has he left??

Apparently he announced it on social media last week and @Everything-WT (I think?) contacted him directly where he confirmed it.

But until it's official from the club who knows.

Have to disagree, premierships and top four make you a great coach (reputation wise) You think Robbo or Belly ache would make a move to coach a dud team, never.

Why’s that? Lee was interviewed on whether Madge would be extended last week and gave a non-committal answer.

He hasn’t put pen to paper. I’m no Sherlock Holmes.

 

[Cairnstigers]

Christian Tuipulotu has been released from roosters for an NRL opportunity somewhere else. Was one of the hottest prospects around when he was younger wonder where he’ll end up

How does he get on with Hartigan

If he went the Storm he’d be on a hiding to nothing.

If they become unsuccessful he will be blamed if they continue to be strong, it was Bellamy.

Similar to Seibold at the Broncos.

Looking at their team, my nan could coach them into the top four, any coach would jump to coach them. Let’s not kid ourselves.

Send in your Nan’s resume, if she can coach the tiges into the top 8 I’m willing to give her a shot at it... ?

Can someone monitor Madges instagram and report back if he starts following the Storm?

So if by chance we don’t get joe o, siro or the other fella from the mongs who do we think we should look at?
